Flooding at Luton Airport: A Massive Operation
Luton Airport experienced severe flooding in its car park, creating safety concerns and operational challenges. Thanks to our team’s expertise, Yorks Sweeper Hire played a critical role in clearing the flooded areas. We managed to transport 195 tonnes of water away from the site, preventing further damage and allowing the car park to return to normal operation.
Flooding like this can cause major disruption, but with our fleet of advanced sweepers and tankers, we are fully equipped to handle even the most severe water-related challenges. Whether it’s clearing roads, car parks, or private estates, Yorks Sweeper Hire is your go-to service provider for emergency flood response and routine gully cleaning.
Our Expertise in Flood Prevention
Flooding can be disastrous, leading to property damage, road closures, and business disruption. At Yorks Sweeper Hire, we’re focused on flood prevention through our expert gully cleaning and road sweeping services. Blocked drains and gullies are a major cause of flooding during heavy rains, as debris builds up, preventing water from draining properly.
We provide gully cleaning services across the region, removing leaves, dirt, and other debris to keep your drainage systems fully operational. Whether it’s preventing flooding on major roads or maintaining safety in commercial car parks, our team is equipped to keep water where it belongs—flowing smoothly through your drains and gullies.
